THE PULSEMETER
A person's pulse rate indicates the number of times that the heart beats within a given amount of time. This unit attempts to calculate approximately how many times a heart will beat in one minute. Many factors such as smoking, eating, breathing and stress can affect the rate at which a person's heart will beat. Monitoring pulse rate can be useful for determining how hard the heart is working at a given level of activity. Such information can be used to plan an effective exercise routine.
HOW TO USE THE PULSEMETER:
